It looks like it may become sunny today but it was bitter cold over night with continued light snowfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had a quick meeting with Eric G about Space Invaders<\/em>. We will begin to share ideas on the conceptual side via email. He will share with me some images and I will ponder on how they will influence the code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He will be in town to give a talk in February. We will meet in person then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I want to flash a version of pi-top OS Bullseye and see if it works on my device. To do this I need another machine. It would make more sense to me if there were an SD card reader\/write hub that could be plugged into the Raspberry Pi and make the files there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I used Balena Etcher to flash a 16GB class 10 micro-SD card with pi-top OS Bullseye. I have now placed the card into my pi-top. The machine is booting up. The splash screen was visible for a while. I see a mouse cursor now and it is responsive to mouse movement. Now the initialization wizard has launched. This looks like it will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The OS was released ten days ago and already requires (automatic) updates. It’s downloading 3 files. Scratch that, it’s downloading many more. Eighteen at current count. Now it threw an error in updating these files. I can skip or retry. I opted to retry. This time it says it requires many more files\/packages. It seems to be proceeding. Fingers are crossed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay, it’s downloaded 53 files. It has started unpacking (dpkg) the files. This might take a while. The screen will go to sleep. I hope the device doesn’t sleep when the screen does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I went to my meeting with Scott H about an possible collaboration at the university. There is a time sensitivity around the proposal. There seems to be low effort needed to get the ball rolling. I need to write some emails to see who wants to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I shoveled the back patio. I did the front this morning at 7:30-ish am. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I made myself some lunch and ate it. It’s noon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pygame Mastodon account reached out to me earlier today in response to my toots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pi-top bullseye has finished its updates and I want to see how it did. The latinx in game festival will start in 30 minutes. My research meeting on creative computation is in 50 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n pi-top bullseye initalization wizard needs a reboot to complete its processes. It may take several minutes. They asked for and I provided my email address with a step that I could have skipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scott H is already reaching out to folks via email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The LatinX in Games Festival is using SwapCard as its platform. Today is the career festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pi-top has finished booting up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have written a few email messages. I have logged in to computational art meeting. I tried to listen to the first bit of LatinX in games, but it was muted on my browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay. Met. Did email outreach. Gonna try the magic link again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Latinx in Games festival is experiencing some technical issues that they hope to shake down by tomorrow. Today was meant to be a career fair, so the content day will be key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I need to think about dinner. It’s 4:20pm. I’m going to call it a day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It looks like it may become sunny today but it was bitter cold over night with continued light snowfall.
